Friends of eat.st – this is to let you know that as of Thursday October 4th eat.st will be no more. We – the three founders – have decided to go our separate ways and will be setting up exciting new entities – carrying all of our great eat.st experience with us to the next level.

Thank you for helping to make eat.st the great fun and success that it has been and have a look below at Petra, Gareth and Giles’ new ventures and how you can continue to be part of the mission to Drive British Street Food Forward.

Food Hawkers an independent food traders hub. Food hawkers will be covering the whole of the UK finding all the best street food traders and putting all on foodhawkers.co.uk We will be offering a large selection of tools for the food lover, the food organiser and the food provider. Foodhawkers will encompass all that is the life of a trader. We will be piling on the added benefits for traders and all users on this new street food venture.

Petra will launch KERB

Petra launches KERB on Thursday 4th October, a hub and a resource for the best food traders in town.KERB will replace eat.st at King’s Cross (all the same traders as before, plus some new ones), as well as find traders for events, organise workshops, offer consultancy and generally grow the community and keep on raising the bar for the street food industry.www.kerbfood.com / @KERB_ / http://www.facebook.com/kerbfood

Put those two words together with some pastel-hued cows and place on Granary Square, King’s Cross and…MAGIC! And it’s open to all – no entry fee, just coins for the cones…

Come and learn about king’s Cross’ intimate history with ICE – yes people, this was once a mecca for the frozen stuff and this Ice Cream Festival is the latest reimagining of its importance to the area. To celebrate these frosty roots, visitors can learn how to milk a cow, try a load of different ice creams, discover more about the history of ice cream and how to make it.

Then there’s the food offerings – and eat.st has it licked…

As well as the brilliant eat.st favourite Sorbitium Ices who will be churning out their incredible flavour combinations in ice cream, sorbet and sherbet forms, there will be some great food to temper the ice cream excess.

As much loved as our Monday-Friday lunchtime market at KX is, some people just don’t have the time to get there in their lunch breaks. I often get messages from people asking, ‘Do you think I’ll be able to make it from Vauxhall/Bermondsey/Tottenham Court Road, queue for lunch, eat it and make it back in an hour?’. I always say, go for it – but slightly worry about the digestion process after….

So, help is on its way – for all of the KX daytime non-participators, as well as the hungry people waiting to catch the Javelin to Stratford. From this Saturday, July 28th, and for the full 16 days of the Olympics, eat.st will migrate South to the foot of King’s Boulevard at Station Square, serving from 11am-8pm daily. Now that’s a window for all the hungry/greedy/adventurous and fun to jump through. Whether ‘working from home’, taking a long lunch or heading over after work, we aim to feed.

We’re starting off small – Buen Provecho, Sorbitium Ices and Elephant Juice over the first weekend, then rolling out between four and eight traders each day. As well as this perky little trio, we have on the rota:

Bleecker St. Burgers – new kid on the van scene, doing the straight-up burger/slider/fries thing

Horn OK – bhel puri and dosa heavenJamon Jamon – returning to the fold with paella pans on fireKimchi Cult – Cult classic and KX stalwartKooky Bakes – Ice cream Whoopie Pies, what else is there?Molly Bakes - and did we also hear SHAKES?Monty’s Deli – Another adorable Mark – this one doing the Reuben thing with some major TLCMother Flipper – yes, he does and they’re one tasty little packagerainbo – Choc Star allumni Shrimp & Ben bring their 1948 Ford pickup into town, with mad gyozas on board

Lots of news on where we’ll be during the Games – first up we bring news on a project we’ve been working on for some time…

The Exhibition Road Show is all about celebrating the shared space that has got Exhibition Road all svelte and suave. For nine days – 28 July – 5 August – the entire Road will be taken up with music, dancing, games, brass bands, drums, bars and….US! So, not only will people be able to quaff proper cocktails from our old friends The Soul Shakers, but they’ll be able to graze on an array of great food from eat.st traders and friends.

Each day there will be 20 food stalls and vans, carefully selected by yours truly, to sling it good and sling it tasty on this iconic street. They will rotate throughout the week so that, in fact, if you were really greedy/curious, you could come every day and still not get through them all. Read the role-call of deliciousness and weep!

This Saturday, seven of our traders and one special guest will be lined up and slinging hard for Eurostar’s ‘Traction’ in Granary Square, King’s Cross. For 3000 lucky ticket holders, not only do they get Gilles Peterson curating the hell out of that place, but they get our lot for their dinner…

In the collaborative spirit of the London 2012 Festival, Traction will pull together European acts on one stage in Granary Square, Kings Cross. London’s newest public space. Curator Gilles Peterson has drawn inspiration from across the continent, choosing performers such as firm French favourite Sébastien Tellier, spoken word artist Ghostpoet from the UK, Dutch jazz-funk specialist Benny Sings and Eurostar Records’ very own London trio Plugs, among others, to create a series of unique cross-cultural collaborations.
